I've said it before and I'll say it again: twitter is literally just /pol with a better UI now, and it has exponentially more reach and users than /pol ever had.

I hate the phrase anti-aging, that’s just not a real thing. It’s like anti-gravity. It’s like telling us to feel bad if we can’t float. Like come on

You know what the only reason why I haven’t written a best seller yet is because I’m terrified that Michael Hobbes will utterly obliterate me in 5-10 years

a really weedy guy just asked me 'can you bench press more than me? probably right?' and to make him feel better I just said 'what's bench pressing again?'

Hating Taylor Swift's 'Life Of A Showgirl' Album Reveals These 5 Things About You If Taylor Swift's 'showgirl' era isn't for you, this may be why.

I'm researching a piece and I landed on this really unhinged article about coming to terms with not liking Taylor Swift's new album; I'm just impressed that she ran an MLM with such a devoted downline for this long and the cracks are only just starting to show www.yourtango.com/entertainmen...

Yeah I mean I honestly thought they were just two terms for the same thing but MLM is like actually legitimised through regulations because of lobbying and so has some very minor technical differences that are quite easy to skirt around because it takes regulators too long to notice an MLM lol

and now we're so deep in the 'selling is good' idea that we accept vapour and imaginaries as real products, and even buy THEM and build the house of cards even HIGHER. Anyway it's interesting...

and how this concept of like a gross sweaty door-to-door salesperson was transformed into empowerment and sold to single mums who then had to sell the idea of empowerment to like ten other mums etc etc

Making a podcast series about scams right now and am realising that the basis for so many MLM type things is "if you give me money I will show you how to get rich"

It would cost @blackskyweb.xyz $160K annually to do automated video and image moderation for every post in the Blacksky feed.

This is a huge barrier to new apps being built on @atproto.com.
I talk about all this + more with @alixdunn.com for Computer Says Maybe.
My #Nodestar episode drops tomorrow.
